Chapter 267 Heavy Firepower Coverage
But this was also a new gadget. In his haste, Li Tianran exchanged for it, throwing one to Tang Su and using one himself. As a result, he had just swung a few dozen meters away with the harpoon cable when his body slammed heavily into the cliff without any force absorption. If his body hadn't been strengthened as an Evolver, this impact would have been enough to turn him into mincemeat.
Tang Su's situation wasn't much better than Li Tianran's. She was covered in dust and no longer had any goddess-like aura as she desperately ran for her life.
Hearing Li Tianran's roar, Song Zhibin remained silent like a stone. Li Tianran had thought he had been killed in the explosion just now, but the data showed that he had only fainted, which immediately put Li Tianran at ease.
Li Tianran gritted his teeth. Just how big of a deal was this bastard involved in? These military police weren't leaving him any chance of survival, skipping the single-soldier capture procedure altogether and resorting to heavy firepower to wipe him out!
And now Li Tianran knew that he couldn't escape.
Judging from the military police's attitude toward Song Zhibin, once he had contact with Song Zhibin, then out of caution, he would definitely be dealt with too!
Moreover, the military police weren't giving him any chance to explain himself!
"1,200 meters directly ahead, two war chariots are approaching!"
"1,800 meters to the left front, four war chariots are approaching!"
"800 meters behind, three war chariots are approaching!"
Buzz!
The sound of roaring propellers filled the sky as a helicopter approached from a distance.
Blocked in front, pursued from behind!
Li Tianran seemed to be in a hopeless situation!
But the more this was the case, the more calm Li Tianran became. He analyzed the situation in three seconds, and then quickly released dozens of Combat Mustangs from the backpack column.
A heavy truck suddenly appeared in the wilderness.
Then, the electronic eyes of dozens of Combat Mustangs instantly turned red. They carried heavy RPG rocket launchers on their shoulders and began to retaliate against the rapidly gathering war chariots. In an instant, the area within a few kilometers became a battlefield filled with smoke!
Although Li Tianran still didn't want to fight the Yanhuang military police, the situation was changing rapidly, and he had no choice but to make changes.
The military police clearly didn't expect that the target they were pursuing would suddenly possess such powerful firepower for counterattack. For a time, they reformulated their battle plan.
In this short span of tens of seconds, Li Tianran found a weak spot in the war chariot encirclement through the patrolling surveillance guard and quickly ran towards it!
Shells whistled past his ears.
Li Tianran watched as one Combat Mustang after another was engulfed in flames and smoke, feeling extremely distressed. But at this time, the helicopter in the sky didn't give Li Tianran any chance to mourn. Bullets rained down frantically, like a torrential hurricane.
Helicopters were simply the bane of infantry. With full air superiority, their attacks on ground troops were crushing.
Several times, Li Tianran was almost hit by bullets. If the gravity field hadn't been open all the time and several adult-level Mustangs hadn't rushed up to block the bullets, Li Tianran would probably be as immobile as Ding Lu had been back then!
"..." Li Tianran was silent for a moment, a hint of ferocity in his eyes.
The helicopter circled in the sky, pursuing relentlessly.
At the next bend, a mechanical warrior five meters tall suddenly appeared behind the mountain, carrying a three-meter-long heavy cannon on its shoulder. The muzzle was pointed at the helicopter and it fired directly!
Whoosh!
The heavy cannon shell squeezed the air, rushing into the sky like a giant dragon!
The helicopter hurriedly veered to avoid the shelling. The fuselage dodged the shell, but the upper propeller was directly shredded by the shell's body. Then the shell exploded less than five meters above the helicopter!
Losing its hovering power, the glass of the helicopter was shattered by the shock wave, and it crashed crookedly into the mountain below.
...
Without the suppression and tracking of the helicopter, Li Tianran's pressure was greatly reduced. He took advantage of the time when the Combat Mustangs were holding back the war chariots behind him and sprinted madly through the dense artillery fire.
He couldn't take out a helicopter or a war chariot now.
This was the border area. Once he used a helicopter, it would only be shot down by anti-aircraft guns, and he would die even faster.
Seven or eight war chariots followed closely behind Li Tianran, but because their mobility was too poor, Li Tianran had the advantage within the rugged mountain road.
Li Tianran searched for a rare path to survival amidst the dense artillery fire, fleeing all the way deeper into the mountain road.
...
"Why does the target have such strong firepower? Has this firepower been hidden on the border all along?" The commander of this operation watched this scene, his brow twitching wildly: "Could it be that the target has already contacted foreign forces, and this firepower is here to snatch him away?"
No one could answer his question.
In an instant, many conspiracy theories flashed through the commander's mind, making him feel increasingly cold.
But in fact, many seemingly incredible things in the world have a very simple explanation...
If he were told now that this was just a misunderstanding, just a crossfire under accidental circumstances, he would definitely not believe it!
"The target is moving towards area 052!" A report came from the intercom system.
The commander's face changed, and he said angrily, "Be sure to stop the target before he reaches area 052, otherwise... he will really escape!"
Area 052 is a very long river channel.
It connects to Myanmar to the outside and reaches the mainland to the inside.
Searching underwater is a hundred times more difficult than on land!
Li Tianran's goal was clear. It had always been the river channel he had just passed by!
This was a border defense zone. Even if he temporarily broke through the encirclement of the war chariots, there might be an even larger encirclement on the outside.
On land, it would be too difficult to successfully escape from the huge border military police organization.
It would be much easier in the river channel!
The artillery fire behind Li Tianran kept sounding. He felt waves of heat rising, and the flying stones and shrapnel also scratched his body. Tang Su was just as disheveled as he was. Even her right arm had been cut open by shrapnel, with only a layer of skin and flesh still connecting it.
The artillery fire became more and more intense.
Li Tianran knew that he was getting closer and closer to the target river channel. The shells kept falling, like divine punishment.
Finally, he saw a strip of ice composed of red-brown earth and rocks, like a training extending to the horizon!
Two adult-level Combat Mustangs carried out RPG rocket launchers, directly pulled the trigger, and two shells landed on the water surface, directly blasting a huge gap in the two-meter-thick ice surface!
Li Tianran and Tang Su strode up and jumped into the gap!
Just as Li Tianran fell into the water, two shells fell, and the two adult-level Combat Mustangs instantly exploded, leaving only a charred electronic head.
The electronic eye of one of the Combat Mustangs flickered, and a mechanical voice echoed in Li Tianran's mind.
"Respected master, our journey ends here. It is a pity that we cannot continue to escort you back home..."
"I hope there will be an opportunity to work for you in the future. Goodbye."
"Adult-level Combat Mustang 01 and Adult-level Combat Mustang 02 have reached 98% damage, the core energy source has been destroyed, cannot be repaired, and have been officially destroyed!"
Buzz!
On Li Tianran's system operation screen, two more light spots representing adult Mustangs went dark again.
The electronic eyes went out completely.
Li Tianran's body fell into the water, heading straight down into the depths of the water.
